I walk to the washrooms with my head down. Really this was pathetic. I reach the end of the hallway and looks at the washrooms that were out of order. What did I expect with my luck?
I look at the empty hallway. I really didn't want to go back outside to look for another washroom. Everyone was staring at me. Just then this guy comes all dressed up but looked kind of a kid.
"Excuse me, Can you tell me where is the washroom?" I ask embarrassed.
"Oh, these aren't working?? Sure, let me take you to the one on the fourth floor. By the way, I am Max. You are??", Max asks. "Hi, I am Ana. Executive Assistant to the CEO", I tell him.
He turns really respectful."Oh! so you are the new assistant. Well, congratulations on getting the job. You are going to love it here", Max keeps talking about his job or the office staff while showing me the office along while we take the elevator to the fourth floor. I try to ignore all the amused looks I am getting. At least now I don't think I would need to explain anything since I got probably the whole office as my witness.
Max tells me he is an intern here and has been working for six months here. Gosh, he talks so much. He can even defeat Shayna in the art of talking someone's ear off.
We finally reach the fourth floor and get out of the elevator. There I see a reception desk. The receptionist calls out a greeting to Max and looks at me amused. Way to make an impression.
But the staff is really friendly here. We take a left and at the end of this hallway, are my heaven.
"Thank you so much, Max", I thank him knowing that he has been really helpful.
Max looks at her and thinks it would be good to learn from her. She became the boss's assistant sp young. He also starts to feel a bit shy in front of her. She looks so pretty.
"No problem. You know, I will wait for you here. You need to report to the HR office afterward. I will take you there", Max says. He really wants to spend time with her.
"Oh, Okay", and with that Ana opens the door, places her barefoot on the floor where, by now her dripping clothes formed a small puddle and slips to end up staring at the ceiling. This is definitely not her day.
Max stands there stunned for a moment thinking just how unlucky is this girl. He hurriedly drops down," Are you okay?? You are not hurt, are you? Should we call the doctor??", and while Max hovers around, just then a door opens a few feet away, and from there comes out a stream of people.
Ana turns her head to look at what must be a meeting room, from where so many professionally dressed people are coming out from. Just then Ana looks at one particular man, the most handsome and cute, a perfection with glasses. God, she loved men with glasses. It just gave them a touch of cuteness and nerdish look to an overall handsome species.
But this one was perfect. Ana stares at him while he is engrossed in his phone stepping outside the room seeming to just shine in that whole bunch of people. As if sensing someone's stare, he suddenly turns his head and looks straight at Ana.
Ana, not wanting to be caught staring and getting flustered turns her head sharply to the opposite side and stares at Max's shoes.
Just then silence descends and I can guess they all must be looking at the wonderful entertainment that was me. I hurriedly get up and push Max who stands in my into the washroom, hastily get my ass inside to safeguard a shred of dignity and bang the door close.
This is the worst day of my life... so humiliating.
And when I see Max staring at me strangely, I realize that I just pushed him inside a female washroom. In front of probably my boss, some client, and a whole lot of staff. This is ...going to be difficult ...to clarify.
